It just happened again. I have reason to think that Firefox is responsible, but at present, it's just a guess. (One way I can tell it's happening is that I have an analog desktop clock running, and don't maximize windows. As long as the sweep-second hand's moving, I know the box hasn't froze.) None of the Magic SysReq keys worked, and I ended up using the reset button again. After rebooting and logging in, I opened a terminal and as root ran tail -f /var/log/messages to watch what, if anything happened. I then used RightAlt-SysReq-r and saw the response that the keyboard had been set back to default. Using s caused an emergency sync, so I know that it works when I'm in X, something I hadn't tried before. Now we know, it's not just X that hangs, it's everything. Any suggestions as to how to find out what's causing this? (If it's lack of RAM, I'm kinda stuck as the mobo's maxed out and I can't afford an upgrade ATM.)
Stupid question, but have you tried using a different browser than Firefox like Opera or Chrome? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - First Law of Work: - - If you can't get it done in the first 24 hours, work nights. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
